Evo VIII

Hey guys, I recently lost my Evo IV in an accident but I now have an Evo VIII! Anyways I was wondering if some of you can give me opinions of what the best VTA bov would be? I know recirc is the more practical way to go, but I do miss the sounds of a VTA bov from my old 91 Talon Tsi.

Also, this Evo 8 has 272 cams and it has the CEL light on because of it. I can't remember how to remove that in Evoscan. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Evo + VTA bov = no no, unless you're converting your car to run speed density (search SD conversion)

Evoscan has an option bottom right - select EFI and Clear DTCs, but make sure you know what you're clearing first... If it is P0300, it can be permanently disabled via EcuFlash.

I vented a hks ssq and it was loud and mean sounding but caused alot of driving problems like sputtering and choking when I hit 25lbs of boost and sometimes it wouldn't let me get 25lbs of boost.

even recirculated, hks ssq doesn't seem to have good, consistent results on evo's.

dont be a ricer, if you have a MAF recirculate with synchronic, forge, or tial.

Isn't it funny when you see a vented evo everyone calls it rice but when a supra pulls up just chirping and fluttering like a bird everyone is amazed by it. Doesn't make sense to me. Stock metal bov for the best drivability in my opinion. BTW All Jap cars are ricers no matter how you look at it, just don't ghetto rig it. I love my RICE!

"rice" is degrading the driveability of a car for a sound effect when your still on a MAF. every SD evo is vented, so your statement is invalid.

Rice is a immature car enuthiast, its not the car itself, rice is a term for japanese cars, but its funny how the evo is a very popular car. Venting doesnt mean anything it helps the turbo get more air effectively to the motor and is proven to increase power as well. So i agree with jvlazzar

Ok guys... back on topic.. I'm not planning on using it for more than 15psi of boost. I don't see VTA as "rice" in anyway considering 91'-97' Eagle Talons and Mitsubishi Eclipses which were all made in the USA/Canada had VTA bovs and they worked just fine with the MAF being right before the throttle body.. I do know how to make it work in ECUFlash/EvoScan as I have a write up.

On a side note, my Evo VIII makes enough power as it is and I'm not really looking for more. I also don't want the HKS "chirp" sound, rather just a "woosh".

Stock boost is 18 taper to 16 pounds of boost.
If thats the case then you will need to run speed density if not your car will run very poorly.

Im not an expert on speed density but take it to a tuner for your car to run right

Were the talons/eclipses different in Canada than the rest of the world? I am fairly certain NONE of them came from factory with a VTA setup. Most of them run a GM MAF in order to VTA or convert to speed density. They have similar drivability issues with VTA as an Evo would.

Well that is because the air is already out of the system before the maf calculates how much fuel to spray. So that makes no sense to compare that setup to yours. They do not come like that from the factory. Get the biggest loudest bypass valve you can get and go impress your friends by how ****ty it runs. (Before it is totaled out) Here grab up this one! http://www.turboneticsinc.com/node/90

No turbo car comes from the factory VTA, because it's completely and utterly moronic unless you're running speed density, as stated above. The stock valve makes PLENTY of noise with an aftermarket intake pipe, there's no reason to vent the charge unless you want to be JDM F&F mad tyte yo and in the process ruin the drivability of your car and make the rest of us like like flatbill toolboxes. But hey, it's your call.

Best BOV for a MAF setup is the metal IX valve, crushed if you're running over 25psi.

The Eclipses and Talons are recirculated from the factory. The stock MAF is located on the intake tube before the turbo. If your 91 talon had the MAF on the intercooler pipe between the core and the throttle body it was most likely a upgraged GM MAF but not stock. My 98 gsx is recirculated as just like it was from the factory.
